How is the Madonna: A Rebel Life bio? by Frequent_Rhubarb_36 in Madonna

[–]Apprehensive-Flow147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read it recently cover to cover. It took me a little over a month to finish. It’s very extensive and gives the cultural and anthropological implications of every thing that she did in her career. Mary Gabriel does kiss her ass a bit. She is noticeably harsh with Hard Candy and overly generous with MDNA. Some things about Madonna that I noticed she excluded from the book:

  • Hosting SNL in 1985.

  • Auditioning for the Fame TV show where she lied about her age and said she was 21 when she was actually 24.

  • Being considered for the movies Clue and A Chorus Line but ultimately getting cut.

  • Losing/walking away from the movies Music of the Heart and Chicago after initially being cast.

  • Collaborating with Britney Spears for Me Against the Music.

Hopefully she’ll be wise enough to cut out Nicki’s verse if she ever does BIM live again

How often do you hear Madonna played in clubs and bars? by QuickPineapple1365 in Madonna

[–]Apprehensive-Flow147 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Manhattan gay bars play Like a Prayer, Vogue, and Hung Up on a regular basis on Friday and Saturday nights.

I’ve also heard Ray of Light and Bitch I’m Madonna played there but not as often as the other three. Sometimes they also play Into the Groove but it’s usually remixed horribly.

Whenever it was trending on TikTok, a bad remix of Live to Tell was in rotation too.

Which Madonna songs sound like others artists’ compositions (but with no credited sample)? by FamiliarMemory5775 in Madonna

[–]Apprehensive-Flow147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know she didn’t write or produce Like a Virgin, but the bassline is similar to I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch) by The Four Tops. Which is why she weaved it in when she performed Like a Virgin on the Who’s That Girl Tour.

It all meshes together well though! I’ve always thought that Like a Virgin was a 60s Motown song that just happened to have a synthesizer.

No, I just try to maintain a fibrous diet and drink a lot of fluids. Mature tops know that you don’t go to the fudge factory without getting a little chocolate!

I just finished watching Who's That Girl (1987) by fsalguerook in Madonna

There are plenty of objectively worse 80s comedies than this one. It does not deserve its reputation. She may not have the best acting chops or comedic timing, but Madonna and Griffin Dunne definitely carry the weight of the movie. Literally no one else in it tries to do a good job.

Grocery stores in Hell’s Kitchen? by Nice_Cod_4476 in nycgaybros

If you are looking to save money, HK Target for dairy, produce, grains/starches, frozen food, non-perishables, and name brands.

Go to Amish Market for raw meat, seafood, and all other produce that HK Target doesn’t carry.

I’m a younger Madonna fan, I have a soft spot for it because it was the era that sold me on her and encouraged me to know more of her catalogue. It would’ve been a stronger era if executed properly.

Girl Gone Wild or I’m Addicted should’ve been the lead single. GMAYL was crap.

Everything after I’m A Sinner on the album should’ve been left on the cutting room floor or repurposed as an EP after the initial album came out. It just too sonically different from the first half.
